Mel Gibson's in Braveheart.
Bathroom scene from Scarface.

None of these deaths can touch the torture scene in Ichi the Killer - the dude didn't die, but he probably wishes he had... He was strung up face down horizontally with meathooks stuck through his skin as he had BBQ skewers shoved in his face and then boiling oil poured on his back and head. It was pretty brutal.
I guess the curbing in American History X was pretty bad.
The death scenes in Hellraiser were good as well.
What about the death scene in Brazil where those two guys had their O2 supply replaced with sewage and their biohazard suits filled up with sewage and they drowned?
One of the Creepshows I think featured that Stephen King story about those kids who go out to the middle of the lake and this oil slick chases them around - one kid gets sucked through the boards breaking all his bones. That would suck.
Battle Royale features some fantastic death scenes.
The Isle - some dude swallows a line with fishooks on it and yanks it out... a girl does the same thing with the fishooks, but on a different part of her body :wince:
I guess the absolute worst would have to be from Nightmare on Elm Street series - I'd have to say the chick that turns into a roach in a roach motel has to be the worst of all of em. I hate roaches.

DOWNTOWN - In this Anthony Edwards / Forrest Whitaker cop buddy flick a guy gets tossed into a woodchipper and you see the bloody mess that comes out of the other end.
THE EXTERMINATOR - A mobster is slowly lowered into a giant meat grinder.

I put a vote in for the guy at the end of Nekromantik 2. You think it's your lucky day by getting some and then...

I was a big Stephen King fan when I was like 9 - 14.

The one you mentioned was nasty as well, but too brief. Where as the last murder just seemed to last a little too long. Uncut version, that is.

I don't know, having that alien burst out of your chest in... Alien... would suck a lot.
Being burned alive then shot in Last of the Mohicans.
The Cube -- guy gets shot with acid and ends up with a nice hold instead of a face. Also, slicing and dicing. Not to mention chopped in half.
I don't know if he died, but Last House on the Left. The chomp chomp BJ. Ouch.
Hmm, plenty more...

Steam blast to the face in Bone Collector
Head in a vice in Casino
Not a death, but two scenes in The Cell were pretty gruesome- nipples getting ripped off (I still cringe) and the intestines being slowly rotated on a spit while still attached to the guy.

Zhang Yi Mou's "Red Sorghum" starring Gong Li.
There is a scene in which the Japanese are attempting to douse a rebellion by Chinese laborers. One of the Chinese tough guys is captured, hoisted onto the hood of a truck and is skinned alive with a big knife.

Offhand, a couple of deaths from two schlocky movies. They stand out because they are unconventional, especially within such routine movies:
-In Forced Vengeance, Chuck Norris takes on a mob boss and his henchmen. In a scene near the end, Norris's girlfriend is being watched over by a friend of his (a big, muscular black guy who looks like he can handle himself) when a gigantic guy bursts in. Norris's friend fights valiantly, but eventually the other guy overpowers him and brutally breaks his back with a bear hug. Then Norris's girlfriend is raped and killed. The scene is not gory, but it's surprisingly disturbing for such hokum.
-In Friday the 13th VI the sheriff (the girl's father) faces Jason and is brought to his knees. Jason bends the cop's midsection backwards until his spine snaps, and his head hits the ground next to his feet.

on a more intimate level, I always found the 'death' of Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio in "The Abyss" very disturbing, the tension and drowning is powerfully conveined

Man, this thread is harsh. I was going to mention Derek Jacobi getting impaled on a giant pair of scissors in Dead Again, but that doesn't hold a candle to most of the scenes mentioned so far.

Oddly enough, I am surprised that 'Last House on the Left' has hardly been mentioned. Almost all of its deaths are shocking, espically the two young girls.
Maybe it is what occurs before the deaths that makes them so shocking.

The suicide in The Dead Zone, definately the worst suicide.
